It sounds like a big time compromise in hygiene and a potential disease risk mandated by bureaucratic interference to me. Didn’t a bunch of you get killed recently by wildfires that spread largely because of intrusive Leftist restrictions on clearing woodland fire hazards?

Not really - the suggestion that people shouldn't flush their toilets really isn't what this charge is aimed at trying to limit - twenty five minute showers, filling your entire washing machine to wash a pair of underwear, etc - that's what they are trying to address. Yes, some misers might go to extremes, but that's not what it's about.

Failure to adequately clear firebreaks and fuel from bush areas probably helped make the fires worse in some cases, but the 115 degree temperatures and 80mph winds had a pretty big impact as well.

I'm a volunteer firefighter - I know bushfire well. Proper land management is important, and some people probably died because it hadn't been done properly - but much of it was beyond any human ability to ameliorate.
